Working with Generic (Non-WBS) Activities
You can add activities like change requests, discussions, risks, etc. to your project. These activities are not tied to the project roadmap but are associated with a project. The activities and fields are set by your Administrator and are displayed on the Left Navigation Bar.

To add an activity, do the following:
- Navigate to the Project Module Menu (Project #) > Create> Change Requests (or other configured non-WBS activity).

- Click the Save button to add an activity or task.
- From the Details pane, you can select the tabs to enter relevant information pertaining to this activity. See topic About Project Roadmaps and Tasks for more information on these tabs. You can also use the control buttons on the top to add, copy, and delete activities. For more information on these control buttons, see topic Using Control Buttons.
